Quote:Ninjas urge to vote, cover key issues
MAY ADVINCULA
Issue date: 10/29/08 Section: News
An Asian-American group dressed as ninjas encouraged individuals to vote Tuesday.
A dozen ninjas dressed in black snuck into Tate Plaza on Tuesday on a mission - to give flyers about voting to as many people as possible in 15 minutes.
This overt operation, coordinated by Sean Cuevo, co-president of the Filipino-American Student Association, was carried out by members of various Asian-oriented organizations to promote an upcoming seminar, "Don't Vote - You Don't Matter."
Cuevo approached the Asian-American Student Association with the ninja-flyering idea because he said he felt the organization was the best channel to use for promotion.
Because ninjas are perceived as "unseen and unheard" Cuevo used this analogy to apply to the misconceptions of the Asian-American voting population.
"We are targeting Asians, but Asian-Americans aren't going to be the only ones who are going to see us today," Cuevo said.
Through the ninja flyering event, Cuevo said he hoped to convey the message that all students should not be "unseen and unheard" in the upcoming presidential election.
"The underlying theme [of the flyering] is that all votes count," he said.
Meghan Flynn, co-president of the Filipino-American Student Association, along with Cuevo, volunteered as a ninja for the event promotion.
"I want our Asian-American community to unite and have our voice heard in this election," she said.
Debbie Ebalobo, president of the Asian-American Student Association, said the group will discuss five important political issues during the seminar, including immigration, the economy and the youth vote.
The seminar will be held tonight at 7:30 in the Tate reception hall.

There once was a pirate store in Fremont. That's right. A store just for pirates. It closed. Some say it was the economy. I say ninjas.

Maybe they have moved the shop to the gulf of Aden. Plenty of pirates there. Maybe they should send the Ninjas to help clear them out?

Ninjas hate water.
Here is your best independent pirate store (not one of those big chain pirate stores): <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.826valencia.org/store/">http://www.826valencia.org/store/</a><!-- m -->

It is - but it's also Rosh Hashanah. Does that mean they'll be sounding the shofARGH, matey?
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Somebody really needs to be involved in the content decisions over there at KFM.
Why isn't there a video competition? I might have an entry . . . . .
